Hey everyone,

So I read in the forum that several people who took audit this past quarter had a tbs that had an incorrect timeline in the question. I reached out to the AICPA and got an immediate response asking for details like member/customer number/DOB/email address or home address on file…etc, etc. It specifically says this is for requests requiring access to my account. Since I am not requesting access to my account, I didn’t reply to that email.

Then, I got another email with a response along the lines of appropriate staff will review candidate letters/emails and determine the effect of the concern on the examination. It went on further to state they cannot discuss eventual outcome of reviews/provide specific info about a test question. At the end of that email, status has been updated from “new” in the first email I got from them to “Closed-NS”.

What does that mean? Have they recorded my concern? How will it be addressed? The second reply just seems like a generic email sent from an automated system that doesn’t address the issue on hand. Have others that reported the issue also received the same response(s)?

I'll ask the AICPA on Monday about this and see what they say.

Thanks, Jeff! 🙂

From the AICPA:

The “Closed-NS” status is from our email system. The issue has gone before the proper staff and they will make the decision about the item in question.

We do not discuss the outcome of our reviews and we cannot provide specific information about a test question to a candidate.

For what it's worth – the communication from the AICPA on matters like this is wayyyy better than it was back in the day.
